Nah, the new 'in' thing is to travel & if you see anyone who made a stupid comment to you, you are allowed one shot at them

(in other words slade, you might need a bodyguard cos you've wound about 50% of the Music Discussion guys up)

Webby; I noticed u un-sticked the other thread...was that to make room for this one?

I'm not going to spend a good hour (or perhaps more) writing up something if it's not going to be read(wow, the 1st time I'm writing something 100% to have read).

Post it and I'll sticky this thread.

We need info from other cities as well, any volunteers?

I unstickied the other one since it was pretty useless, given that a) I didn't have time to update it and b) nobody read it anyway...

Ahhh

Brisbane is shit for trance! Once in awhile we get a decent act @ 8 McLachen St, Valley. Club is called The Family. You don't need to know anything else, as other bars and chill out lounges are around there too.

Don't stay in the city coz its all rnb and rap and there is alot of white people pretending to be black and alot of arabs pretending to be italians
